but this is what the DMV said needed to be done. I'm confused, frustrated and running out of options here. Why is the salvage title an issue? The goal is to get a title for it right? and how much does a power of attorney cost?

IMO the 100% right way would be to find the original owner, have them sign over the title to your ex, fill out and sign a bill of sale, etc. Then your ex would register the vehicle in his name, get a new title, and then sign that over to you with a bill of sale etc. and then when you got the new title in your name you would repeat the process with Timm

The quick way would be to find the original owner and have him sign over the title along with a bill of sale as if Timm were buying it from him directly...That would save a lot of steps and you can consider your ex and yourself as just people that stored the vehicle for the original owner all these years

But would this work if there were other owner's who had a title between the original owner and now? I understood that there were other owners after the original, who had a title. The way I understand it, we need to have the last known owner who had a title sign it over. Right??

Would love to go, but want to make sure we got to the right person!

we got the right one! My ex bf told me his name and the old registrations I found in the glove compartment confirm that. Ex says he never registered it and didn't intend to register it until it was restored (no point in paying
reg. fees and taxes every year on an inoperable project). He was given
his paperwork including bill of sale. He says he gave the bill of sale to me, but if he did, I can't find it. I have everything else associated with the rig, but not that.
